Chandigarh, (Aditi) : Godrej Appliances, business unit of Godrej & Boyce, the flagship company of the Godrej Group, has been actively contributing towards building the nation’s healthcare infrastructure. Taking a step further in this direction, strengthening its medical refrigeration portfolio, Godrej Appliances has launched the new InsuliCool product range - Godrej InsuliCool and Godrej InsuliCool+, innovative cooling solutions especially designed for insulin storage, to address the challenge faced by diabetic patients with respect to insulin storage at recommended temperatures.
Data suggests that close to 74 million people suffer from diabetes in India. This is second highest in the world and predicted to rise over 10% by 2030. Of this, at least 10% of the diabetic population also require insulin therapy beyond oral administration. It is also a scientifically established fact that insulin must always be preserved between temperature range of 2°- 8°C to maintain its effectiveness. Any temperature breach below or above this range leads to drop in its efficacy.
